Forecasts

Malina Girl (3/1), Cahirdown Boy (4/1), Galon De Vauzelle (5/1), Happy Dreams (13/2), Holiday In Kerry (13/2), Carnet De Stage (9/1), Rock Of Tuskar (11/1), Know The Game (14/1), Masterstonemason (20/1), Pennywell Girl (22/1)

CARNET DE STAGE shaped as if still in decent heart at Killarney 3 weeks ago and the return to this trip will suit, so could be the answer off a decent mark. Malina Girl arrives on the back of a career-best win at Roscommon so is next best at ahead of Galon de Vauzelle, who remain capable of better over fences given hurdles form.
